In wireless/mobile networks, users freely and frequently change their access points (APs)
while they are communicating with other users. To support the mobility of mobile nodes …

IEEE 802.11 is one of the most mature WLAN technologies and system components are
available at very low cost. This makes it prevealing to reuse 802.11 (hardware) components …

The design of the seamless handoff is the key issue in the next‐generation mobile networks.
A new broadband wireless access, called WiMAX, has been specified in the IEEE 802.16 e …

During the past few years, advances in mobile communication theory have enabled the
development and deployment of different wireless technologies, complementary to each …

This paper presents the concept and preliminary performance evaluation of a stochastic
network discovery approach named opportunistic scanning. Therein, a station only pauses …

Channel scanning is an important aspect of seamless handovers since it is required in order
to find a target point of attachment (PoA). In the IEEE 802.11 WLAN, scanning of other …

This paper presents a detailed performance evaluation of a novel stochastic network
discovery approach denoted as opportunistic scanning. Therein, a station only pauses its …

Supporting seamless handovers between different wireless networks is a challenging issue.
One of the most important aspects of a seamless handover is finding a target network and …

Velocity has a non-neglectable influence on the handover delay experienced by a user if the
handover is triggered on a radio-signal-measurement (RSM) based handover scheme …
